The disclosure provides therapeutic compounds, compositions (e.g., therapeutic agents or medicaments) and methods for preventing or treating mitochondrial disease such as Friedreich's ataxia in a mammalian subject, reducing risk factors, signs and/or symptoms associated with mitochondrial disease, such as Friedreich's ataxia, and/or reducing the likelihood or severity of mitochondrial disease such as Friedreich's ataxia. The disclosure further provides novel intermediates for the production of said therapeutic compositions. In some instances, the intermediates may themselves by therapeutic agents or prodrugs of therapeutic agents (e.g. reduced forms of the therapeutic compounds).
Solid state redox chemistry of hydroquinones and quinones

Solid state ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) oxidation of hydroquinones to the corresponding quinones, gives best results when operating with ultrasonic irradiation. Nitrogen dioxide plays a key role in these 'solid-solid' oxidations. The oxidation of hydroquinones to quinones can also be achieved in a unique 'solid-solid-solid' reaction, i.e., by using a limited amount of CAN in the presence of a full equivalent of a solid cooxidant such as KBrO3. Reduction of quinones with sodium dithionite in the solid state gives rise to the corresponding highly colored quinhydrones and, eventually, to hydroquinones.
